Mexico: Dawn, Dusk, Ritual and Afterlife

Mexico: Dawn, Dusk, Ritual and the Afterlife
A brief overview through a simple slide show of Mexico's ancient archeological and sacred sites and rituals: Teotihuacan (City of the Gods) and the sun rise ceremony of the Sun during the Vernal Equinox, carvings of the legendary Quetzalcoatl who promises return very soon, Chichen Itza, the sacred tomb of Chac Mool, magnificent Uxmal, Oxkintok, Sayil, Dzibilchaltun, Kabah, Labna. Then, a significant cultural shift - a remote church also in ruins (and still used by the local people) in Yucatan, and onto Izamel Convento built on top of an ancient pyramid and a blending of cultures - pre columbian elements of worship can still be found, the Pope and the Goddess, Day of the Dead and Night of the Dead (Dia de Muertos, Noches de Muertos) and the Festival of Guadalupe celebrated in the weeks before Christmas. Music composed and performed by Patrick Leonard and Shenkar from their CD "Udistam" - 'Sons and Daughters'. udistam@yahoo.com

Thank you for your lovely comment Graeme - if you go to my channel page, you will find a paragraph about this recording "udistam" by patrick leonard and shenkar in my profile (second paragraph). Both artists have extraordinary careers and better known in the pop/rock world - I love this music too :-)

Beautiful video, makes me wonder what the Mayans,Aztecs and other indigineous populations would have achieved if left alone by outside influences? Lovely music by the way, could you please tell me who the author is. :)
